Learning Objective: Rewriting the solution to the story Little Red Riding Hood.

Recap on the elements of a traditional tale from Monday's lesson. Then recap on the versions of Little Red Riding Hood in which we have read. 

This lesson we are going to be focusing on the solution. This is where the setback gets resolved and everything goes back to plan.

Knowing that, what is the solution? Most versions of the story have different solution and today you are going to be coming up with your own solution to your story. 

Think about: what might happen? Could it be mother who saves the day? What will you change? Could it be a member of Wolf's family? Could it be daddy? Could it be Little Red Riding Hood herself?

I might write something along the lines of:

"Help!" screamed Little Red Riding Hood as she realised that

the evil, mischievous Wolf was in Grandma's house.

Her dad was nearby. He heard the loud scream echoing from inside Grandma's house. He rushed inside, he could not believe his eyes.

You need to include who is the solution and who saves them. 

DON'T include how they save them as we are covering this in tomorrow's lesson!

Year One - To write your own solution to your story using the conjunction "and".

Year Two - To write your own solution to your story using 2a sentences and conjunctions. 

Big Maths

Each week we spend approximately an hour working through our mental maths skills, eg rapid recall of bonds and fact families, as well as reviewing some of the less visited areas of Maths - Shape, Area, Factors and Estimation (SAFE). If your child is on SAFE Maths we will have emailed you the sheets via Purple Mash. However, the following links are all excellent at reviewing those skills we all need to become fluent, confident mathematicians.

Subitising skills for Reception, really useful for seeing an amount without counting.

Daily 10 skills for Year 1 and 2 to practice.

Hit the Button has short sharp doubles and bonds practice for Rec to Y2.

Purple Mash also has several quizzes and games allocated too which focus on counting in 2s,5s 10s etc. Don't forget the Maths homework is also set here for your child to complete each week.

Religious Education:

What is a Muslim and what do they believe?

Who was the Prophet Muhammad, and why is he important to Muslims?

LO: I can retell a story about the Prophet Muhammed

Who is a leader?

  •  Ask the children who leads a school, a football team, a TV show, a family, a country? Does anyone lead the world? (They may say God). Talk about leaders and what they do. Pick out the idea that a leader sets an inspiring or good example. A good leader is not the one with the loudest shout, or the best fighter, or the cleverest – a good leader sets a good example.

The Prophet is a leader for Muslims. How and why?

  •  Tell the children that Prophet Muhammad is such a special leader that he has over 1.5 billion followers who respect him, all over the world. People have followed his teaching for over 1400 years!
  •  More than 1400 years ago he taught all Muslim people how to follow God. He is so special that when Muslims talk about him, when they say his name they say ‘Peace be upon him’. And when they write his name they put the letters ‘PBUH’ after his name. (Children can write the letters downwards and the words across if this is useful to remind them.)
  •  Ask children if they know any other religious leaders. Talk about the examples these leaders set. They may know of Jesus or Moses, or some modern examples: welcome them all.
  •  Set up a story time using the story of Muhammad and the Cat  Remember that Muslims make no pictures of the Prophet.) Tell the story, and ask the children to think about the difference this story could make to how a Muslim person lives their life.
  • Ask children to think about people they know who are kind to animals: how does it show?
  • Does following a Prophet help people to understand things about God? Consider the possible answers to this question.
